The Beatles are nominated for a Grammy for the song "Now and Then", created by Paul McCartney with the help of AI based on Lennon's 1978 demo

The Beatles have received two Grammy nominations this year, and no, we haven't been transported back to the 1960s.

Here's What We Know

The song "Now and Then", created with the help of artificial intelligence and released last year, is nominated for the Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance. They will be competing against artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Chappelle Roan and Beyoncé, which promises to create an unusual atmosphere at the ceremony.

Although the band broke up 50 years ago, Paul McCartney decided to use AI to create the "last Beatles album". He didn't use deep fake technology to resurrect John Lennon and George Harrison, but processed Lennon's 1978 demo to improve the sound quality.

Innovative sound editing with the help of artificial intelligence is similar to the work of video communication platforms such as Zoom, which filters out background noise.

It is interesting whether the legendary band will be able to win at the Grammys, as the song "Now and Then" has only 78 million plays on Spotify, making it the least popular of all the nominees.
